1.5 inch clown loach feeding schedule question

[cloudgodd]

I need you advice on if this looks right amount to feed:
I have 3 - 1.5 inch clowns 1 - 2.5 clown inches and 6 - 1 inch zebra danio's (moved the mollies)

8am flake, bloodworms, or brine (2 pinches)

10 am cooked frozen shrimp or sinking pellet (20 min in tank)

1 pm cut vegetable (30 min in tank)

5 pm flake, bloodworms, or brine (2 pinches)

7 pm cut vegetable (in tank for the night)

9 pm flake, bloodworms, or brine (1 pinch)

Hi cloudgodd,

With the loaches being so small, high protein foods are best. Brineshrimp in it's adult form is not very nutritious at all, so I really wouldn't bother feeding that. Baby brineshrimp on the other hand is very nutritious (it still has the yolk sac) and is ideal for feeding small fish like your young clowns. Try daphnia and cyclops mixed in with it too. At that size, I would also skip one or both of the veggie feeds and replace with a good quality small sinking pellet or other frozen foods such as white mosquito larvae.

Hope this helps,

Emma
